A beautiful poem. The feel of youth and hope.
"We twisted love to meet our needs.
We were masters of What It’s Not."
The above lines. These words are the wine of youth. We believe in love and forever. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Yes...in our youth, we think we have the bull by the horns and know all things...We are truly the master of "What it's Not". Thank you for the review, my friend.

You are right my dear friend and you are welcome.

Nice, I love the end line and how it completely wraps up the emotions once felt to be the most important, were barely in the running of what is the reality of being together.
Aren't we all just a bunch of kids, learning as we go along, playing the role of real people while still feeling like the make believe boy or girl of our childhood. No!, just me then? Okay. :)

The irony of youth is our emotions are on crack, our frontal lobes aren't fully developed (so rational thought is impaired), and we don't have the experience to understand the enormity of the consequences to some of our choices. Yet, love and relationships are entered into with the 'happily ever after' expectation that seldom pans out. Thank you for your insightful review. Hugs.

much like my first serious relationship...too young to understand, too young to know...but with fervor we loved---circumstances were our counter plot...

Then again, love is fickle. We can't control when it strikes. Thank you for reading and commenting. Appreciate it.

I like this very much! Some fabulous words obdurate a word I've recently learned one of my professors used it to describe me...lol and austere...there is something beautiful about the way it rolls off the tongue. A bit of contemplation...fine closing words. Starz

The masters of what its not are never too late to become novices if 'what it is'.
PHd in what its not doesnt preclude a degree in 'what it might be' - in fact its an advantage.
Lifelong learning is love and love is learning for Life. (Yes I did play The Sphinx in Mystery Men - proof? - okay try this " Love is tasteful but can soon be tasteless and finally bitter to taste.' - see - just like The Sphinx

Right..
The review. I take great pleasure in saying I had to look up 'obdurate', coz I love new words
I felt the bittersweetness of this - it was well coveyed Pam.
If biographical, I'm sorry this didn't work out. It was so close, I feel, from your words.

Yes...it is sort of biographical...but in a removed kind of way. Thinking back...contemplating things. I suppose it didn't help that I was at Thanksgiving meal yesterday, at my daughter's...and my ex was there with his new wife. Yes, this is a typical practice for all holiday meals now. I don't have to cook anymore, but the trade off is seeing the ex. There's no hostility (on my part), but you can't help wondering about the whys and what ifs. Okay...I'm shutting up now...lol.

Having no kids I can't imagine the sacrifice that takes. Sure I can, imagine...but f**k...I couldnt do it without causing a scene, I feel.
Could you grow anymore in my estimation...probably...but it may take some drugs on my part or some celestial intervention on yours..lol.
(((Hugs))) for what its worth.

On a more serious...or psuedo-serious...note, I am a very pragmatic person. I tend to look at myself honestly, (or try to). Maybe it's because I'm a Libra...maybe I'm just weird...but I tend to look at both sides of situations. It takes two to tango...two to love...two to f**k it up. There is no bad guy, only you and me, to poorly quote some song or other. Then again, what do I know...lol...I'm just flyin' by the seat of my pants most days.
